Pretty nice! (Although I am thinking you can draw that bow just a bit further maybe, haha,  :).) Very nice work. Can I ask, is that an arrow pass, or a bowyers mark you got there? I think it would be a pretty simple and effective as well as nice looking arrow pass mark.

Love this.  There's something really unique about it.  Maybe because of the really crazy looking piece of wood you pulled it from! It looks like English yew, in that the sapwood and heartwood boundary is quite indistinct.  Very impressive work, and I LOVE that bowyers mark.

Looks like a great job from a slightly iffy bit of wood (dark line of 'bad' wood, funny half sap/half heart on one side).
Yup, I like the bowyers mark and the nice simple nocks too.

(what the heck is the length in inches! (cm ? I spit in the face of centimeters... mm or m but I can't abide cm ;))

You've been posting some lovely yew bows lately :) Clearly English yew, and not Pacific yew. Where are you from?
Nice smooth tiller you got there. I'm sure you can pull it further than pictured, but I'm guessing you might be doing that on purpose to hold the bow at partial draw for the picture for an extended time.
